Even Now
Even Now
Composer(s): Marty Panzer; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
Even now when there's someone else who cares
When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I'm climbing' up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won't see that
Even now when I know it wasn't right
And I've found a better life than what we had
Even now I wake up crying in the middle of the night
And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are,
I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through, I swear I think of you
And how I wish you knew, even now
Even now when I never hear your name
And the world has changed so much since you've been gone
Even now I still remember and the feelings still the same
And this pain inside of me goes on and on, even now
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining' through I swear I think of you
and God, I wish you knew
Somehow, even now

I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny
I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny
Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May
Performer(s): Mel Blanc
I got big funny ears, they are so long and flat
They are the very reasons I never wear a hat
My teeth stick out in front
Like pickets in a fence
And as far as riches go, I'm not worth two cents
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was an Elephant, then I'd be really sunk
For every place I'd ever go, I'd have to take my trunk!
Suppose I was a Zebra, with stripes from head to tail
I'd bet they'd think that I'd escaped, and throw me back in jail!
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was a tall Giraffe, and swallowed carrots, yummy!
With that long neck, I'd surely starve before they reached my tummy
Suppose I was a big fat pig I might as well be frank
I wouldn’t care to end up as some kiddie’s piggy bank
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
What’s up, Doc?
Suppose I was a smelly skunk, I wouldn’t have a friend
I’d be alone excepting for, A cent I couldn’t spend
Suppose I was a ‘Gator in the swamps where time would drag
Until the day when I’d be made into a travelling bag
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was a turkey then I’d end up on a tray
In the middle of the table on the next Thanksgiving Day
Suppose I was a Bullfrog, croaking out a not
I’d dread the time when I would be, a frog in someone’s throat!
So I'm glad to be the way I am, Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have, I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Even It Up
Even It Up
Composer(s): Sue Ennis; Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson
Performer(s): Heart; Wicked Peach; Nancy Wilson
"I'm the one who can please you"
Ain't that what you said
You seemed so alone
I guess I was easily led
I showed you my love
But I guess that it went to your head
When you were hungry
I brought you your breakfast in bed
Even it up, even it up, even it up
Even it up, even it up, even it up
A good man pays his debt
But you ain't paid yours yet
Even it
Even it up
I took you down over the tracks when
you wanted some sin
I brought you satin and herbs from
the places I been
Now something tells me you're
going to use me again
You think you can lay down the how and
the where and the when
Even it up, even it up, even it up
Even it up, even it up, even it up
I don't want to bum it all
But this axe she got to fall
Even it
Even it up

I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore
I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier
Poor boy! Poor boy!
Down-hearted and depressed and in a spin
Poor boy! Poor boy!
Oh, youth can really do a fellow in!
How lovely to sit here in the shade
With none of the woes of man and maid
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The rivals that don't exist at all
The feeling you're only two feet tall
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore
No more confusion
No morning-after surprise
No self-delusion
That when you're telling those lies
She isn't wise
And even if love comes through the door
The chance that goes on forevermore
Forevermore is shorter than before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore
The tiny remark that tortures you
The fear that your friends won't like her too
I'm glad I'm not young anymore
The longing to end the stale affair
Until you find out she doesn't care
I'm glad that I'm not young anymore
No more frustration
No star-crossed lover am I
No aggravation
Just one reluctant reply
"Lady, goodbye!"
The Fountain of Youth is dull as paint
Methuselah is my patron saint
I've never been so comfortable before
Oh, I'm so glad that I'm not young anymore

Even Geduld
Even Geduld
Performer(s): Jef Burm
Even geduld, de filmlas is gebroken
Even geduld, er is weer Frans gesproken
Even geduld, er is een storing in het interludium
Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)
Daar zwemt mijn leading lady in het aquarium
Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws
Ik kijk al jaren 's avonds naar de televisie
En de programma's vind ik lang niet mis
Als ik m'n ogen toedoe zou ik durven zweren
Dat het precies een echte radio is
Een keer heb ik de antenne gans verkeerd verbonden
Toen zijn de schipper, Penelope en Armand Pien
Te zien geweest zodra m'n vrouw ging wassen
In 't ruitje van haar wasmachien
Even geduld, de filmlas is gebroken
Even geduld, er is weer Frans gesproken
Even geduld, er is een storing in het interludium
Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)
Daar zwemt mijn leading lady in het aquarium
Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws
Lalala...
Ohoh (ohoh) ohoh (ohoh)
Even geduld, ze zegt ons weer wat liefs
Even geduld, om tien uur volgt het nieuws
Even geduld, heb je m'n lied gehoord
Even geduld, kijk dan maar lekker voort

I'm Glad I Met You After All
I’m Glad I Met You After All
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
It was spring time when I first met you
The stars above were shinning through
I took one glance and then I let you…
Just steal my heart…
You knew it too
You smiled at me so sweet and tender
It flushed my face just like the sun
I could not tell were it would end Dear
But I knew then it had begun
Let people say just what they like Dear
It does not matter now at all
Deep down inside I know I love you
I'm Glad I Met You After All
I guess it was not meant to be Dear
Because I found you much too late
And if it was the plans got mixed Dear
So we must suffer the mistake
Your memory I will keep forever
Locked within a heart that pines
But where the world can never touch it
It’s all I have but it is mine
Let people say just what they like Dear
It does not matter now at all
Deep down inside I know I love you
I'm Glad I Met You After All

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
Even Cowgirls Get The Blues
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists
She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night, too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin' like the restless wind
The only way she's ever been

I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep
I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): James Burrell
and multiple other artists
Out on a hike all day, dear
Part of the army grind
Weary and long the way, dear
But really I don't mind
I'm getting tired so I can sleep
I want to sleep so I can dream
I want to dream so I can be with you
I've got your picture by my bed
'Twill soon be placed beneath my head
To keep me company the whole night through
For a little while, whatever befalls
I will see your smile till reveille calls
I hope you're tired enough to sleep
And please sleep long enough to dream
And look for me for I'll be dreaming too

Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock & Roll
Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock & Roll
Composer(s): Chris LeDoux
Performer(s): Chris LeDoux
Well now cowboys love the ladies
They like beans and sourdough
Good horses and hot black coffee
And campfires burnin' low
You know we love that cowboy music
But I'll bet you didn't know
That even cowboys like just a little
Rock & roll
Chorus
Even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll
Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul
There's a little bit of Buddy Holly
(Chuck Berry) (Charlie Daniels)
In every cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll
Now when your camped out on the prairie
And that ole moon is shinin' bright
You can hear those cattle bawlin' soft 'n low
There's nothin' like a cowboy's song to make it all feel just right
But even cowboys like a little bit rock & roll
Chorus
Now those old buckaroos are set in their ways
And they'll even tell you so
Say they don't like nothin' but them old time cowboy songs
Yeah but I've seen the green grass growin'
Underneath that winter snow
I'll bet them old cowboys even like a little rock & roll
Chorus
Yeah there's a little long hair
In every single cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock & roll

I'm Getting So Now I Don't Care
I'm Getting So Now I Don't Care
Composer(s): Richard Howard; Bartley Costello; Dave Ringle
Oh how I cried when you told me goodbye
Clouds hid the sun in the sky
And oh, how I pleaded and begged you to stay
But my heart is diff'rent to day
You didn't care tho' you made me believe
That you could never deceive
Perhaps you are sorry and want me again
But now you would call me in vain
I'm getting so now I don't worry
I'm getting so now I don't care
When my heart was aching I tried to be game
And let everybody think I was to blame
I loved you so much when I lost you
I thought I would die of despai
But old dreams fade away
And I thank God to day
I'm getting so now I don't care

Even After
Even After
Performer(s): Ron Dante
I know the place is just a mess
I guess I kinda let things slide
'Cause you were gone I didn't care
I only know I hurt inside
And now you ask if I still care for you
Even after, even after, you went off with someone new...
(chorus)
Even after (even after)
I still want you like before
I forgive you, even after
You found new arms to explore
Starting needing, hoping, praying you would walk back through that
door
Even after, even after
And maybe even more
A million questions in my mind
With answers I don't wanna find
I only know you're here again
And life can be what life was then
Can't run away 'cause there's no place to hide
I am helpless, 'cause my love for you goes deeper than my pride
(repeat chorus)
Even after, even after
And maybe even more

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You
I'm Getting Sentimental Over You
Composer(s): George Bassman; Ned Washington
First release by: The Dorsey Brothers Orch. - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, I never thought I'd fall
But now I hear the call
I'm getting sentimental over you
All the thoughtful little things you say and do
That thrill me through and through
I'm getting sentimental over you
I thought I was happy
I could live without love
Now I must admit that love is all I'm thinking off
Baby, won't you please be kind
And just make up your mind
That you'll be sweet and gentle
Be gentle with me
Because I'm sentimental over you
Because I'm sentimental over you
Oh, I can't stand much more of this

Evelyn
Evelyn
Composer(s): Hugo Felix; Anne Caldwell
Performer(s): Mizzi Hajos
Love I think is tommy rot
girls are such a funny lot
Only one my manly fancy seems to please
But without the least excuse
With me she can raise the deuce
For the little villain is a fearful tease
Always messing me about
Till I want to shout
I could win a score of them
Then I'd win some more of them
But upon my soul, I think I'm too blase!
Just this one girl seems to start
Little twitters round my heart
Doctor diagnosed the case as "love" today
It is such a fearful bore
I'll have to say once more
Oh, Evelyn, oh, Evelyn
You'll have to quit your devilin'!
You tease and antalize me so
You've surely got me "on the go!"
Oh Evelyn, Oh Evelyn
Just mind what you're about
If you are on the level in the game you seem to revel in
Oh Evelyn quit your devilin'
Just cut it out

I'm Getting Better
I'm Getting Better
Composer(s): Jim Reeves
Performer(s): Jim Reeves
I walked by the river
Where we said good-bye
Thought of your kisses
And didn't even cry
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better
I talked with an old friend
he asked about you
I managed to tell him
With just a tear or two
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better
I know I'll never be the same
I was standin' too close to the flame
But it doesn't hurt so much
To hear your name
I think I'll make it -- I'm gettin' better

Eve Wasn't Modest Till She Ate That Apple
Eve Wasn't Modest Till She Ate That Apple
(We'll Have To Pass The Apples Again)
Composer(s): Chas. McCarron; Albert Von Tilzer
Everybody loves a girl who's modest
Everybody loves a girl who's shy
When a girl is modest and retiring
You can bet she'll always get by
Modesty began in the garden of Eden
In every book you'll find
I'll admit it started in the Garden of Eden
But just bear this in mind
Just suppose that every girl was modest
Just suppose that every girl was shy
There would be no dust when days are windy
To blow right in the naughty man's eye
We'd have better business in our marriage market
Each man would surely mate
When they start proposing they can see what they're getting
That's why some hesitate
Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple
That old apple to blame
The minute that she ate it
she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came
If one little apple made the first girl modest
It ought to work now as well as then
Once they only wore a leaf
Clothes are getting just as brief
If every mother's daughter, wears dresses any shorter
We'll have to pass the apples again
Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple
That old apple to blame
The minute that she ate it
she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came
If one little apple made the first girl modest
It ought to work now as well as then
Way back in the olden days
Men were fooled by girlie ways
For then we never knew them
but now we see right through them
We'll have to pass the apples again

I'm From Outer Space
I'm From Outer Space
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein; Even Stevens
Performer(s): Even Stevens
Well, I know this may surprise you, for you've known me for so long
But I've tricked you with my music, and I've fooled you with my song
But my mission here is over, and I've watched the Human Race
And now the truth can be revealed, I'm from Outer Space
And my given name is Gilpage, and I'm really 2 foot 8
And when you think you've shook my hand, you've really slapped my face
And I'm the son of the seventh Zorb, from a distant dying race
Sent to see if it was safe, for us from Outer Space
But I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue
I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon
And I'll stand before the Elders and they'll ask me of this place
And if the Earth could be a home for folks from Outer Space
But I'll tell 'em how you love to fight and how you love to war
And how you never seem to learn from mistakes you made before
And I'll tell 'em how you treat the old and what you teach the young
And how you've melted down your plows and turned them into guns
So it's been real fine to know you, but I'll soon be with my own
And I guess we'll take our chances, and leave your world alone
And perhaps we'll even meet again, in another time and place
But this ain't a healthy atmosphere for folks from Outer Space
So I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue
And I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon
And I'll stand before the Elders and when they'll ask me of this place
I'll tell 'em that there ain't no room for folks from Outer Space

Eve Of Destruction
Eve Of Destruction
Composer(s): P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): Barry McGuire
The eastern world, it is explodin’
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction
Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It’s bound to scare you boy
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction
Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin’
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, it’s the same old place
The poundin’ of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say prayers
And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve of destruction

I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now
I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now
Composer(s): Lou Hersher; Saul Kelin
Performer(s): Johnny Cash
and multiple other artists
I got rid of the shackles that bound me and the guards that were always around me
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
But I'm free from the chain gang now
Back home I was known and respected then one day I was wrongly suspected
So they put me in chains in a cold freezin' rain but I'm free from the chain gang now
All the years I was known by a number how I kept my mind is a wonder
And the bare prison cell that was one step from hell
But I'm free from the chain gang now
I prayed that the gossip will spare me when I return to the one I will marry
Like a bird in a tree I got my liberty and I'm free from the chain gang now
